The past couple months have been pretty rough. We have had some amazing adoptions to wonderful families, but our overall adoption numbers have been very low. We have many kittens in foster care who are getting older as they patiently wait for homes, preventing us from taking any new cats or kittens in. We simply do not have the space. The longer we have cats and kittens in foster care, the more care expenses we incur. People are also less interested in adopting kittens as they grow older. We need your help. Please spread the word about our rescue, and encourage people to consider adopting from The Cat People. If you are looking to adopt a kitten, please think about adopting an older one. They are a better bet since we can tell you more about their personalities as we have watched them grow up. They are all so desperate to find homes and their forever families.

The Cat People
Rescue - Foster - Adopt - since 1990
The Cat People is an outstanding, 100% volunteer organization that was founded to eliminate the suffering of unwanted cats and kittens. A group of women started working together over 20 years ago to help the abandoned cats and kittens in Hart Park in Kern County. Today, the organization has an official contract with the county to manage the colonies in Hart Park, and it provides spay/neuter vouchers and food to low income families to assist them in keeping their beloved pets and/or to control growth of colonies around their homes. It operates completely out of foster homes, and the organization works with Petco to hold adoption hours once a week.
